  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

    I want a therapist but can’t get one!

    I watched a movie that had disturbing images in it and ever since it has scarred me and has negatively affected my life. The trauma sticks with me, and I get panic attacks a lot and my thoughts just crumble and the thoughts won’t go away. I want to go to a therapist but my dad always pushes...

    I’m lost

    Hello, and my name is Gabe, I haven’t been on Christian Forums for about a year, and I’m going through something that feels quite weird to me. First off, an introduction: I’m 17 years old, who suffers from anxiety (officially diagnosed with OCD), and doesn’t have close friends. I’ve been a...

    New year, old problems

    I'm feeling quite despairing at the moment of ever finding a life partner or even a fulfilling social life and career. I've registered on a dating site where my messages to men whose profiles I like never get returned. All I ever say is I like the look of their profile or it seems we've some...

    I feel like I'm denying God.

    I suffer from panic disorder and with that comes many intrusive thoughts. I'm not sure if this is me being hard on myself, the intrusive thoughts, or God sending me a message. Very recently, I feel like I've been denying God and I get a lot of odd thoughts that tell me to deny God. Ever since...

    Panic Disorder, Intrusive Thoughts, Other things

    Around September of 2017, I was diagnosed with panic disorder. I haven't been diagnosed with OCD although I think I may have it. I really wish it was like how it was in the beginning because now I worry about my faith, have intrusive thoughts about Satan, demons, blasphemy, the unpardonable sin...

    What's Our Purpose?

    Life gets hard sometimes, doesn’t it? In this world we will have troubles and hardships. But, this world is not our home. We are just passing through. We don’t belong here. Our home is in heaven with God, if we are his by faith in Jesus Christ. So, that should encourage us, that this is not...

    Fear of food (help)

    Well, sort of. It's more a fear of the OT laws and what they say about pork and other unclean animals. I can't tell if it's still in affect. SO MANY people say you CAN eat pork. SO MANY say that you can't. Both arguments seem to have good points and make sense. So just don't eat bacon then...

    Sabbath Anxiety (PLEASE HELP)

    I really don't want this to become a debate, but I understand if it does. I've been learning about God recently (I've only been a Christian for a couple months) and I'm some how just now realizing that I may have to do the Sabbath day. This may sound weird, but it's making me panic. I have...

    Are panic attacks normal for teenager's going through puberty?

    So I know this kinda falls into the category of being for the teen's common area but I thought I'd ask people who have dealt with anxiety. Let me start off by saying that I am sixteen and am at this point in my lie I am having anxiety that spans from being self conscious to stuff like death. It...

    Obsessing over and worrying too much about a new crush

    Hello everyone, I keep worrying and obsessing about dating. I keep fantising about guys and am currently doing that with one guy in particular who I have been friends with for about six months now. I'm not physically attracted to him, but I ended up really liking his personality. He is a godly...

    I'm mad, need prayers

    It's past midnight here, and I can't go into details but I have this issue, I'm irritated about, and in fact, I just checked earlier to see if it was resolved and it's not and the whole thing has me angry. I know that it's just likely that after I get home from Adoration, I'll receive word...

    Unforgivable Sin/Doubt! :(

    This is, like, my 5th time posting or something and I feel bad for continuously posting new threads and throwing myself a pity party, but I'm just very lost and with each new thing that pops into my head and presents itself as a problem, I feel like I need to talk about it. Forgive me. I made...

    OCD about touching meat

    I'm Amber. I know this may sound a bit strange, but I'm afraid to eat/cook meat. Let me explain. I've never really liked that animals were treated poorly before their deaths in slaughterhouses (I know killing the animal is one thing, but I mean the way they are treated before they die). I still...

    Idk if I'll even be genuine enough for God

    My name is Amber and this is the third time I've posted on here with a fear. It won't be the last, I know. I'm sorry that I keep posting about similar things, but I have to get it out and talk to people. So, I've just recently been believing in God, and I've been fearing a lot. A lot of my...

    I think I'm going to hell (the unforgivable sin)

    My name is Amber. I think I committed the unforgivable sin and there is no hope for me. I was raised Christian, but even though I believed, I never really lived the life. I still didn't have doubt though, but I never really prayed or anything. Anyway, around a year ago, I just kind of... eased...
